Problem with avdec_h264

[joker3139]

Hi all,

I am using a C920 Logitech webcam together with linux to stream. I want to decode this stream to get a raw stream with avdec_h264, but it is not working.

I have the now following simplified pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 -vvv -e v4l2src device=/dev/video ! queue ! video/x-h264,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! fakesink

When I execute this pipeline, the following error occurs:

/GstPipeline:pipeline0/avdec_h264:avdec_h264-0.GstPad:sink: caps = video/x-h264, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, framerate=(fraction)30/1, alignment=(string)au, stream-format=(string)byte-stream, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, colorimetry=(string)2:4:7:1, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, chroma-format=(string)4:2:0, bit-depth-luma=(uint)8, bit-depth-chroma=(uint)8, parsed=(boolean)true, profile=(string)constrained-baseline, level=(string)4
/usr/bin/recordvideo.sh: line 6: 21423 Illegal instruction gst-launch-1.0 -vvv -e v4l2src device=$1 ! queue ! video/x-h264,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! fakesink

Especially this error illegal instruction makes me confused as I do not find anything about it...

Has anyone an idea why this stream is not decodable with avdec_264?
I have the original commands from here http://oz9aec.net/software/gstreamer/using-the-logitech-c920-webcam-with-gstreamer-12

Thank you already for your help!

Looks like a crash ? Run this inside gdb with full debug packages
installed and share a backtrace ? But before, make sure you use the
latest GStreamer stable release (1.16).

With the C920, most users will opt for the v4l2src wrapper called
uvh264src. This element will operate the C920 in a HW specific mode
which give you a two streams, a raw stream for viewing and the encoded
stream. It also allow controlling the profile and bitrate of the
encoding. The H264 is already framed properly, that avoids possible
parsing issues.
